Meyer 240/400 Broadcast |
 |
Compact Spreaders for Light Vehicles
Meyer Baseline tailgate spreaders offer contractors
economical ice control. Available in 240 lb. and 400 lb. capacities, both are easy-to-use and perfect for small to medium-sized jobs
like walkways and long driveways. |
Model 240 |
Go with the Flow
The 1/8 h.p. direct drive motor applies the torque directly to the auger to
grind through large chunks of material. The auger provides an even flow of material to the spinner for complete and steady material coverage.
And to keep moisture out so material stays dry, both the Meyer BL-240 and BL-400 spreaders come with a lid with heavy-duty,
easy-to-use locking straps. |
Model 400 |
| Both the BL-240 and the BL-400 easily attach to any vehicle with a 2-inch receiver hitch and are
especially appropriate for SUV's, light pick-up trucks, tractors, and utility vehicles. An integrated motor guard protects the
1/8 h.p. electric motor and serves as a storage stand when the spreader is not in use. |
 |
Durable Construction
The hoppers are made of rust-proof, high-density polyurethane....the
hopper frames are powder coated with automotive style paint. And in the event you back into something, the motor is protected by an
integrated motor guard made of tubular steel. |

Direct-Drive Motor (Std.)
The BL-240/400's direct-drive system links the 1/8 h.p. motor directly to the auger, creating up to 75%
more auger power than non-direct drive set-ups. The motor provides superior clump-busting performance, and its marine-style electrical plug
keeps the water out to ensure consistent electrical flow from the vehicle's battery. |
 |
In-Cab Controller (Std.)
The highly intuitive and reliable two-speed control (Low and High) is easy to use and delivers
a precise spread-pattern of up to 25 feet. |
 |
Flow Gate Control (Optional)
The Meyer Flow Gate control system allows the end-user to set the material flow rate based on the
material being used. The unit is made of 100% aluminum and will not rust, is lightweight, and extremely easy to install. The unit clamps
to the throat of the spreader. Simply clamp the flow gate unit onto the discharge throat of the unit, tighten the clamping screws, and
the flow gate teeth bite into the discharge throat securing the control to the spreader. Salt is very expensive, and the flow gate control
maximizes material discharge eliminating waste. |

Spreader Controller (Optional)
The Meyer Spreader Controller (patent-pending) is the most reliable and convenient controller
on the market. This lightweight and compact unit comes standard with many easy-to-use, performance-enhancing features such as:
Auto Spinner Stop Mode - If selected, when the brake is depressed for five seconds, the spinner automatically stops, thus saving your
precious salt.
Auto Vibrate Mode - If selected, the vibrator will automatically activate for 10 seconds every 60 seconds; this
keeps the material agitated and ready for application.
The unit also boasts convenient features such as back-lit controls for
visual clarity at night, and a variable-speed dial that easily controls spinner speed. When it comes to serviceability, this controller
is two steps ahead of the competition. The Controller also monitors the motor performance, if the controller senses that the motor is not
operating it automatically shuts down the system allowing the operator to inspect the system. In anticipation of unwanted amp surges, the
unit comes standard with easy-to-replace automotive-type fuses. The Meyer Controller requires minimal installation and comes with all
mounting hardware and instructions for easy installation. |
